The events surrounding the birth of Jesus are told with remarkable
simplicity in the Bible, but they have too often been obscured by
myths, mistletoe, and consumerism.
Now in paperback, "The First Christmas" separates fact from
fiction, stripping away Yuletide folklore and questionable
traditions to tell how it really was in the world of the Nativity.
Delving into Jewish, Greek, Roman, and early Christian sources,
Paul L. Maier uncovers fresh and fascinating insights into the
true, yet unfamiliar, story of the first Christmas. A captivating
combination of sacred and secular history, this informative and
entertaining book answers many compelling questions, such as: Why
did the Roman emperor Augustus order his famous census? What
marriage customs applied to Mary and Joseph? When and where was
Jesus born? Who were the Wise Men? What was the Star of
Bethlehem?
This beautifully illustrated gift book by a best-selling author
and church history expert offers a glimpse at the real, historical
drama of Christmas.
